The two standard criticisms I can confirm:
Running noise: It is already true clear playback sounds. When reading it is very loud, but I think that's not bad. After a few minutes he calmed down and runs with a slight whirring from. I let him run simultaneously with my old, inexpensive DVD players from Pioneer. The Panasonic is significantly louder. It takes him throughout the movie sometimes true. But it does not bother me. Who is sensitive, but will not be happy.
The remote I found at the beginning of super, after 2 weeks it annoys me, however. I now use the remote control of my Panasonic TV. A touchpad is indeed a good idea, but it reacts too slowly. And a few basic features should be included on the Remote Control buttons. Play / Pause would still rich. In addition, it is too complicated to select and subtitles. And it bothers something that you can not eject the DVD remote control.
Conclusion: The Player's perfectly fine. But I do not understand why he has to be louder than older models. New technology could easily be quieter than older ...
